But they buy Lee v Duddy.....HBO, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?!?!?

While Ortiz is bigger then Berto, I wish Berto would fight someone not coming up in weight. Got dang I've never seen a fighter babied the way Berto is. If this fight is made i'm hoping Ortiz catches Berto with something nice to end this dudes pathetic reign as a Welterweight titleholder.

HBO should pay $1 mil to Berto and $500k to Ortiz. No way this fight would get $2.7 mil like Bradley-Alexander.

cool....not the fight I wanna see Andrea in.....Cintron or Clottey would be really cool....wish Al Haymon would stop protecting his daughter.....reminds me of Al Bundy

**** berto for not fightin WWs and for getting overpaid.

berto/ortiz sux. HBO better not pay for this bull*****.

dibella is a joke. berto/ortiz isn't doing better ratings than bradley/alexander. why won't dibella put berto in with cintron?
